2. User Documents http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/support/userdocuments.sh tml Application Developers Guide Toolkit Developers' Guide – for those who want to contribute to the extension of the functionality to the Geant4 toolkit Physics Reference Manual – a detailed description of the physics interactions provided in the Geant4 toolkit 2

3. Toolkit Developers' Guide http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/UserDocumentation/Users Guides/ForToolkitDeveloper/html/index.html For developers and experienced users of Geant4 already familiar with functionality of the Geant4 toolkit as explained in the ``User‘s Guide For Application Developers“ a working knowledge of programming using C++ is assumed Includes a description of the object-oriented design of the Geant4 toolkit philosophy behind design choices a guide for users who want to extend the functionality of Geant4: adding new solids, modifying the navigator, creating new fields, etc. 3

4. Physics Reference Manual http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/UserDocumentation/UsersGuide s/PhysicsReferenceManual/fo/PhysicsReferenceManual.pdf pr esents the theoretical formulation, model, or parameterization of the physics interactions included in Geant4 Describes the probability of occurrence of an interaction and the sampling mechanisms required to simulate it Serves as a reference for toolkit users and developers who wish to consult the underlying physics of an interaction. The Physics Reference Manual contains gaps in documentation which correspond to un-implemented interactions. There are also a few sections in which documentation is slight No more html version, only pdf version is available. 4
